Would you like to help the museum tell the African American experience? Among other assistance, NMAAHC is asking the public to:

Donate objects - NMAAHC is looking for your artifacts, historical documents, photographs, audio recordings, moving images, books, or visual arts related to African American history, to include in its collection.

Volunteer - NMAAHC needs volunteers to index records of the Freedmen’s Bureau, to help online researchers. The Freedmen's Bureau was a federal agency that aided freed slaves in the South during the Reconstruction era.
